This is a great club, with a supportive and caring environment. My children have grown in confidence since starting. They thoroughly enjoy the sessions and sensei Joe is a positive role model.

I've been training with Joe at Somerset Applied Karate for 3 years now. It's a really friendly club and they welcome everyone, regardless of age or ability. I learned a great deal and if while I've been there. Through the pandemic, Joe has provided one to one training and online training and also outdoor classes when possible which has been a wonderful to keep training safely. Highly recommend the class to anyone.

My daughter loves this club. It's great value, professional attitude, easy drop in, frequent sessions and none of the high pressure sales techniques of other, more expensive karate clubs. After just a few sessions, she could certainly punch!

Joe Andrews is a highly accomplished, naturally gifted and inspirational Instructor. He is absolutely passionate about what he does and this is clearly reflected within all his classes. Joe's sessions are always well planned, coherent and delivered to effectively meet his clients' goals and objectives; moreover, they are great fun. His correct blend of motivation and good humour will get the best out of you.

Joe has been amazing, I have mobility issues which Joe came up with a completely bespoke series of sessions for me. He made each session achievable but stretching. Joe invested in kit specifically for me and our sessions. He’s a complete star!

I wanted to write and thank you for the recent session you ran for a number of our colleagues around personal safety. The feedback has been universally popular and the staff members who attended have been discussing what they learnt and how much they enjoyed your session ever since. It is clear how well you fitted our theme for the afternoon and how appreciated your input was. Thank you for your time and expertise. With your agreement,I am sure we will be in touch again in the near future with a view to working with you again.
